Growing up in Idaho, Michael Woodland is no stranger to the life of a cowboy. Woodland Bronze captures the ranching and farming tradition he knows. With 25 years experience as a packer, ranch hand, and guide, Michael is able to express first hand life stories with breath taking scenery through his art work. From start to finish each piece is hand sculpted and cast by Michael. The "True West" is how he believes and it really shows through his artwork.

Samuel Stimpert is well-known as a plank-owner of Visual Arts Collective (VAC), which has grown into the nerve center of up and coming art in Boise, Idaho (USA). His own artwork consist of sculptures intended to provide the viewer with material with thought and perhaps goad them into contemplation of the human experience."

I strive for the feeling of a fluid shift in my work; a sense of grace and elemental music in the human form. Once revered and idolized as perfection, the miraculous workings of the human form have been cast away and shunned. My work seeks to requite the beauty and elegance of the human body in motion with the contemporary essence of our modern world.

Contemporary Equine Art Painting, Bronze Sculptures. Lover of the Equine form...but an abstract expressionist at heart. Untraditional - often large-scale - athletic art.

For over 30 years, creating Limited Edition Bronze Wildlife Sculpture with an emphasis on the bald eagle and golden eagle, along with a variety of other subjects.

Bronze Sculptures, traditional and computer illustration, fine and commercial. General design 30 years.

Inspired by my travels and varied experiences, my sculptures are a reflection of personal and societal interpretations of nature and man’s interaction within the environment. As man becomes distanced from the natural world, I hope to capture a unique view of nature, where personal discovery becomes a focal point.

In the past I have worked in basketry and birch bark, I still create small art pieces using the birch bark, but my main work is with papier mache. I love how versatile it is, and that you can create so many wonderful things with it!

I specialize in highly detailed carved and painted birds from wood. Each is one of a kind. Commissions are most welcome. In addition to bird carving, I also teach bird carving, and have written several articles and a book on the subject. I also document my occasional fits of monumental stupidity, some of which have been published in IDAHO Magazine. You can find these on my site under "Stuff Happens".
